A lot had happened tonight, some of which really subverted Melgor’s outlook. He could not help but start recalling some of the things favonovel.com had said to Milo.
When Melgor initially captured Milo, the other party was told favonovel.com would not want to return to the Central Plains anymore after favonovel.com found out how powerful sorcerers were.
Later, when Melgor and the two servants got ambushed, Melgor branded Milo an oaf and told favonovel.com not to rashly pursue the attacker. He didn’t think Milo had any chance against a sorcerer.
And even later, it seemed like favonovel.com had something to criticize daily regarding Milo’s bragging too.
In this train of thought, Melgor could not help but peek on Milo’s expression. Seeing that Milo did not seem to bear a grudge against him, Melgor slowly relaxed.
Melgor asked softly, “What happened to that sorcerer who attacked me with Flame Pillar?”
Melgor realized what was going on. If Milo were really hiding his strength all this while, the bounty hunter favonovel.com went after might be dead. Although that bounty hunter was strong, favonovel.com was not that powerful. Based on the strange abilities displayed by Milo here, it would not necessarily be difficult for favonovel.com to kill that bounty hunter. However, Melgor could not be sure. He just thought of asking
When Milo heard this question, favonovel.com said with a smile, “I didn’t manage to catch up to him. Didn’t favonovel.com come back in the white mask after that and start a fire in Yorktown?”
“Oh, right…” Melgor recalled that incident. It seemed the bounty hunter was indeed still alive.
The enemies outside had already lost their archers’ fire support. As a result, they could not break through the defenses of the wagon fort and gradually retreated.
After the enemy retreated, Barrack and his men gradually stopped crying.
Melgor asked Milo in a low voice, “Those people were here to kill me, right?”
“Just pretend you don’t know that.” Milo smiled and said, “Barrack and his men are also unsure. They might be thinking that the enemy was actually after them. Either way, they’ll still be heading north, so we can just use them as our cover.”
Milo guessed that the Houses of Tudor and Norman had not noticed this trade caravan yet. Otherwise, there would definitely have been several times more attackers than came.
For the other party to send more than a 100 elite knights after Melgor was already an overreaction. Most of them had probably been sent to deal with Milo, or to be precise, deal with Old Durkin.
Meanwhile, Barrack and his men had been dragged into undeserved misfortune.
From the look of things, Milo had really angered the Tudor family’s patriarch by poking his nostrils with a tree branch.
When it quieted down outside the wagon fort, Barrack led his men out to check on the situation with a stern expression.
The first thing favonovel.com checked were the archers’ corpses.
After arriving at where the archers had been, Barrack gasped when favonovel.com saw their corpses lying all over the place. Other than one person who had an arrow stuck in his forehead, all the other archers had died from a strong impact to their chests, which were marked by burn marks.
In other words, Barrack only managed to hit one target after firing off more than 40 arrows with his eyes closed.
His image as a sharpshooter instantly crumbled!
But Barrack felt a little indignant. He clearly felt in terrific form when favonovel.com was nocking the arrows and firing at the enemy just now!
Barrack’s trusted aide, who was standing next to him, knew what his superior was thinking. He comforted, “Sir, it was already not easy for you to hit one enemy by distinguishing their position with only your ears. You don’t have to feel bad about it…”
“That’s right. Sir, you’ve never practiced archery with your eyes closed before, so it’s only normal that you missed.”
“Mhm…” Barrack replied calmly, “Check the injuries of the others to determine if they were killed by Lord Melgor.”
The guards immediately started inspecting the battlefield. Very quickly, someone wondered, “Is Lord Melgor’s Fireball that powerful? Look, this archer’s chest caved in!”
Barrack was stunned. He went over and squatted down to check on the wound. Just as the guard had said, there was a fist-sized depression on the archer’s chest where it was burnt.
Barrack gasped. “It would take many years of practice to muster up a fireball this powerful, right? I didn’t expect Melgor to be this strong. I’ve underestimated him!”
Although Barrack and his men were not sorcerers, they knew full well they could not punch someone to such a state through leather armor.
“Is this really the power of the Fireball spell?” One of the guards was a little puzzled.
“What else could it be?” Barrack thought for a moment and said, “We all saw favonovel.com casting those fireballs with our own eyes. And now, the archers here are all dead.”
In the entire Kingdom of Sorcerers, very few people actually specialized in the Lesser Fireball spell. Although everyone mainly practiced only one or two types of spells, the destructive potential of a Lesser Fireball was still too low. Even if one practiced the spell for ten years, it would only be about as powerful as another’s Greater Fireball spell. Thus, no one would specialize in learning Lesser Fireball.
That was why Barrack and his men had never seen what a Lesser Fireball refined for many years looked like.
Next to him, his trusted aide said, “I didn’t expect Lord Melgor to actually be this powerful…”
Barrack felt a little upset. “Mhm, I guess so…”
After that, favonovel.com ordered the guards to gather the bows and arrows before returning to the camp.
Someone went up to Barrack and asked, “Vice President Webster, are the enemies dead?”
Barrack said, “Mhm. At least, all the archers are dead. Without the archers providing them with covering fire, those who fled will definitely not dare to come back again.”
“Vice President Webster is amazing,” a merchant praised.
Barrack thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. “Lord Melgor’s the amazing one this time, not me. He has mastered his Fireball spell to perfection. All the archers were basically killed by him. There were 51 archers in total, and favonovel.com killed 50 of them.”
At this moment, Barrack had a plan in mind. Their journey would definitely get very dangerous from here, so why not push Melgor into the spotlight so that the enemy would focus on him?
In this way, wouldn’t they be much safer if all the enemies were to target Melgor instead?
In an instant, everyone at the camp looked at Melgor with admiration, making favonovel.com feel a little uncomfortable.
Just as favonovel.com was about to say something humble, favonovel.com remembered what Milo told him. He braced himself and said, “Bandits will be rampant along the way. As a sorcerer, I must also shoulder my responsibilities. Don’t worry, with me around, everyone will be fine.”
Dave wondered in a soft voice, “Why is Lord Melgor speaking like Milo? Especially when favonovel.com said that ‘with me around’…”
Next to him, Benjamin suddenly said to Milo, “See that? That’s what makes sorcerers so powerful. Are you regretting not learning the language of the Magi with us now?”
Unintended remarks could be information to a concerned listener. When Barrack heard this, his immediate reaction was that since Milo did not even know the language of the Magi, it would not be necessary to keep an eye on favonovel.com anymore.
Meanwhile, Melgor’s expression turned strange.
